Happy almost New Year to all of my B&B friends. Thank you all for an amazing 2024 at B&B and wishing you the best in 2025!!!

This is a fun SOTD Theme Weekโ€ฆ

Letโ€™s see any Christmas/Holiday gifts or recent purchases this week or anything to do with New Years!

Letโ€™s see the shaving gear you were gifted over the holidays or stuff that you bought yourself that recently arrived. Many of us in Canada, Europe and other regions/Countries wait for annual December 26th Boxing Day sales, so letโ€™s see any recent deals you pulled the trigger on.

Get a new razor for Christmas? New soap for Hanukka? New Brush for Kwanza? New soap or AS you bought yourself? Letโ€™s see it. We want to see you incorporate your new stuff into a photo.

This isnโ€™t only about the holidaysโ€ฆ if you have something new you bought yourself, we want to see it! Maybe you overdid it New Years Eve and are a wee bit hungover enjoying Chinese takeout of a Bloody Mary/Caesar or three? Show us the food or drink, not your bloodshot eyes! ๐Ÿคช

Per usual, if you donโ€™t have anything festive or recently purchasedโ€ฆ post your shave or tell us about it anyways! As always, be creative and have funโ€ฆ sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged.

Have a Happy and safe 2025, All!!!

Good lather whipped up by the excellent brush and the scent is nice...
The razor was briefly refreshed on the 0.1um balsa and strop on the roo leather. The resulting edge was keen and smooth...nice!

I am starting the week with a different razor and blade combination. Next in my rotation is the Karveโ€”Christopher Bradley razor in brass. I am using the C plate and loaded the razor with a PolSilver Super Iridium blade. The shave was perfect. The Kent BK8 Silvertip is no longer in production, and it did an excellent job of making plenty of lather with the Cella soap. There are not that many shaves left with the chunk of Cella. I have been using the soap for 46 days. It was a perfect BBS shave.

SOTD: 12/30/2024

Razor: Henson A13+
Blade: Gillette Nacet, 1st use
Preshave: Proraso Crema Pre Barba Cream
Soap: Barbasol Original
Balm: Nivea โ€œSensitive Soothingโ€ Balm

My maiden voyage with the Henson, and wow it is an impressive mild shave but more efficient than I thought. I have been searching for a mild razor that doesnโ€™t feel dangerous around the thick stubble around goatee and this is it! With two day stubble I only needed one pass with touch up to get the results I like. Used Barbasol as I usually do when I use a new razor. I look forward to using the Henson more this week and beyond. Just right!

Hello friends

Cloudy day. I'm going to end the year with one of my favorite soaps, MdC Fougรจre, which pairs beautifully with Brut Original. Rocca R94 and GSB (2) make a perfect pair. And I'm back to my first Semogue, the 1305, my old and good friend.

With us, in this last shave of 2024, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans.

I wish you all a blessed 2025 and great shaves!
